Which is better the Desktop or Server Version of TGSW?

Thanks

I've not been terribly thrilled with the desktop. First, I've never been able to convince it not to produce it's own thumbs (despite following the instructions and a few suggestions from the author). I like making my own thumbs (well, I don't like it, but I make more money that way :-).

Second, the user interface is a little cumbersome still.

Third, I've got a lot of sites that seem to fail on submitting to that work fine with the server version -- for example, almost any TGPM site. Not sure why; I can submit to them manually, so it's probably not my IP address.

Fourth, it means having a window that's open for what seems like forever while it submits, while the server version is fire and forget.

I think it's eventually going to settle out into a nice product, it's just not nearly as mature as the server version yet.

My $0.02 :-)

Does desktop and pro version come together. I bought pro, but it seems as if I could use the desktop as well???

Just wondering. I've never tried the desktop version.

At least for awhile, you could exchange your pro activation code for a desktop one -- not sure if you still can or not. The code is what you need to allow it to update the TGP list.
